    Miracle Grow foam gun?!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So after an awesome trip up to the mountains of WV my B8 S4 was caked in dirt, salt and grime. I knew giving her a good rinse alone wouldn't get rid of the majority of crud on her. I've been looking at getting a foam gun or pressure washer with foam cannon but that's still in the works. My local auto stores didn't carry a foam gun so I decided to try our this Mircale Grow sprayer to get a good rinse on the car. I used my standard Gold Glass soap, about a 1/4 of the container. For 10 bucks I think it worked pretty good, it did the job.

    A few before shots, she's a dirty girl!






    The sprayer




    The not so bad suds doing their job!




    The final look before I washed her, the vast majority of crud is gone!




    I'm still going to get a proper foam cannon, but in a pinch I think this $10 Mircale foamer did a good job.


    Thanks!
    Dave

    Wow, I watched the video, that's pretty cool. Is there another option that doesn't require a pressure washer?

    Ah! I totally forgot to reply back, sorry man. My Dad was thinking about just giving me his pressure washer. I went to his house a few days ago and the pump wasn't working. So I was waiting to see if I could get his for free first :)

    The Glimour Foam Gun, but it won't come close to the MTM with pressure washer.
